Sociology of Sport and the Challenges of Social Change
July 9-13 - Peking University
Sport, an educational fixture and an entertainment enterprise, is a part of society. As a complex social phenomenon, it exists in every corner of society and influences peoples’ lives. Sport has the potential to be an effective channel for physical and socio-economic development. Moreover, as a universal language, sport can be a powerful medium for social change given that it: contributes to social cohesion, tolerance and integration, can be utilized to bridge cultural gaps, facilitate economic development, resolve conflict, enhance a healthy life style, promote social equity and justice, and educate people in ways that very few activities can. However, today’s world is changing rapidly and examples of social resistance are emerging in many places. The International Sociology of Sport Association invites papers that address the wide range of ways in which sport serves as both a vehicle for and barrier to social change. How is sport related to social change with respect to identity politics: gender, sexuality, race, disability and age? How has globalization had both a positive and negative impact on social change? Can sport play a role in Development and Peace, Sport for All and Human Rights movements? How can sport best be structured and promoted in order to advance positive social change?
